According to Jim Strachan, there are 319 beans and eight sausages in a can of Heinz Beanz & Pork Sausages; however, Mr. Strachan is incorrect. There are 320 beans.

Saturday Matinee – The Fearless Flyers, Manou Gallo & The Steady 45s
The Fearless Flyers showed how to make a music video in 2018. The quartet was a spinoff / side project of funk group Vulfpeck (who recorded the quietest grooves ever on Sleepify).
Afro Groove Queen Manou Gallo is a singer, songwriter, bandleader and 5-string bass slapper from West Africa, and plays a variety of regional and world music styles.
The Steady 45s are a retro reggae / rocksteady / ska group founded in Los Angeles in 2012. I like this groove, better than the original.
Glad that the DNC finally had their party so we can get back to the important things in life, like quality porch time. See you tomorrow.

Good, Good Lovin’, The Blossoms (1966)
The Blossoms were probably the most successful unknown group of the ’60s, and the most well-known lineup was Darlene Love, Fanita James and Jean King. Their biggest hit was not even credited to them: producer Phil Spector was in a rush to get He’s A Rebel to the market, and since his top group was on tour at the time, he named The Crystals instead.

Saturday Matinee – BALTHVS, Johnny Rawls & Dan Patlansky
BALTHVS is a Colombian psychedelic funk surf rock group consisting of Balthazar Aguirre / guitar; Johanna Mercuriana / bass; Santiago Lizcano /drums. Four albums and over three dozen singles in only four years, plus world tours makes for a busy schedule and a lot of spacey retro vibes.
Johnny Rawls is a true soul-blues renaissance man. He’s been recording and performing for over fifty years, winning many awards in the process. Ten of his recordings have been nominated for Soul Blues Album of the Year and two of them won in that category (which didn’t exist until Rawls showed up).
Dan Patlansky was voted the No. 4 Best Guitarist in the world and remains the only artist with two worldwide No.1, and two worldwide No.2 Best Blues Rock albums to his name, as voted by Blues Rock Review USA.
Great googly moogly, the weekend his here already. Too many time flies buzzing about, and that means we have some serious porching to attend to. See you tomorrow.
